Drug Replacement Therapy

For those of you following my blog who also struggle with an opiate addiction, I just want you to know that drug replacement therapy is a godsend. I’ve been withdrawing for close to a week. I took my first doses of Buprenorphine (2x 4mg) a few hours ago and I feel an absolutely amazing sense of relief. Even if I wind up having to take Suboxone for the rest of my life, it is a small price to pay to be free of the awful urge for opiates.
